9 to 11 p.m . 亥时。 Six Gates, Publication Division, printing workshop. 六扇门,刊物司,印刷作坊。 Xiahou Di stands in the workshop supervises work personally, motionless does not know how long to stand, looks that car(riage) car(riage) «Jianghu New Stars Record» ships out the warehouse from the workshop, she always with deep veneration slightly was dignified the depressed facial expression also becomes clear, the corners of the mouth are always hanging the beautiful happy expression. 夏侯荻站在作坊里亲自监工,一动不动的都不知站了多久,看着一车车的《江湖新秀谱》从工坊运出仓库,她向来肃然得略显凝重郁结的神情也变得清亮了许多,嘴角始终挂着明媚的笑意。 „chief constable.” An artist walked, has handed over a rough sketch: „Subordinate had seen one side Ice Fairy Maiden other day, draws depending on the memory, whether there does chief constable have a look at the mistake?” “总捕头。”一名画师走了过来,递过一张画稿:“属下日前曾经见过冰仙子一面,凭记忆所画,总捕头看看有无差池？” Xiahou Di received to look at one, the Zhu Chenyao chilly proud facial features appeared gloriously on the paper, even that perfect physique outlined 78. Her hesitation moment, the nod said: „Charm, certain detail this eminence have not recorded clearly, who will stare at the woman to look except for that scoundrel all day long......” 夏侯荻接过看了一眼,祝辰瑶清冷骄傲的面容跃然纸上,连那完美无瑕的体态都勾勒了七八分。她沉吟片刻,点头道:“神韵已出,若干细节本座也记不清楚,除了那混账谁会成天盯着女人看……” The artists gawked staring, has no way to meet the mouth, quite a while said: „Art academy no one has seen Zither Fairy Maiden, this having no way draws.” 画师愣了愣,没法接嘴,顿了半天才道:“画院无人见过琴仙子,这个没法画。” Xiahou Di curls the lip saying: „Tomorrow visits to the picture. A concubine returns the fairy maiden, owes he to do, is really the face does not want......” 夏侯荻撇嘴道:“明天上门去对着画。一个小妾还仙子,亏他干得出来,真是脸都不要了……” The artists swallowed a saliva, does not know completely chief constable this strange performance is what situation, has to brace oneself to continue to ask: „Third......” 画师咽了口唾沫,完全不知道总捕头这奇怪表现是什么情况,只好硬着头皮继续问:“第三个……” „Where has what third!” The Xiahou Di sound raised eight degrees suddenly. “哪有什么第三个！”夏侯荻声音忽然抬高了八度。 The artists said startled: „? Before chief constable, didn't say Medicine King Valley Miss Xiao?” 画师愕然道:“呃？总捕头之前不是说药王谷的萧姑娘？” „...... ” Xiahou Di rubbed the face awkwardly: „Possibly two days have not slept, was somewhat distracted. She...... she can, I see still pities. You have not seen to send for the picture, goes with my sign......” “呃……哦。”夏侯荻尴尬地揉了揉脸:“可能两日未眠,有些走神了。她啊……她可以,我见犹怜的。你们没见过就派人去画,拿我的牌子去……” Finishes barely the words, some people reported outside: „chief constable, in the palace Eunuch Yu proclaimed your majesty imperial decree, Marquis Xuan lets be asks you to pass.” 话音未落,有人在外禀告:“总捕头,宫中鱼公公来宣陛下手谕,宣侯让属下来请您过去。” „Eunuch Yu?” Xiahou Di was startled being startled, the look is prudent, goes out with stride. “鱼公公？”夏侯荻怔了怔,神色慎重起来,大步出门。 Eunuch Yu Yu Xian, is your majesty personal big court eunuch, his also status, Imperial Palace's first expert, Insightful Emptiness peak powerhouse, is your majesty safe biggest safeguard. This grade of character arrives to announce an imperial decree, significance no small matter. 鱼公公鱼弦,乃是陛下贴身大太监,他还有一个身份,大内第一高手,洞虚巅峰强者,也是陛下安全的最大保障。这等人物亲临宣旨,意义非同小可。 Also without arriving at the great hall, hears Xuan Zhe to press the angry tone to ask: „Eunuch Yu, is this imperial decree in Saint?” 还没走到大堂,就听见宣哲压着愤怒的语气在问:“鱼公公,这是圣上的手谕？” Xiahou Di frowns slightly, steps into the great hall, sees a azure robe person standing upright center, the attitude replied leisurely and carefree: „Marquis Xuan this intent, says my Yu Xian false biography imperial decree?” 夏侯荻微微蹙眉,踏入大堂,就看到一个青袍人挺立中央,意态悠闲地回答:“宣侯此意,难道是说我鱼弦假传圣旨？” Xuan Zhe not bird he: „this marquis in other words your eunuch false biography imperial decree!” 宣哲一点都不鸟他:“本侯就是说你个阉人假传圣旨！” Xiahou Di sits down in his side, knits the brows: „Actually is what imperial decree?” 夏侯荻在他身边坐下,皱眉道:“究竟是什么手谕？” Xuan Zhe sneers has been handing over the imperial decree: „Said regardless of tonight's national capital any sound, Six Gates cannot meddle. Absurd!” 宣哲冷笑着递过手谕:“说是无论今晚京师任何动静,六扇门均不许插手。何等荒唐！” The Xiahou Di first response is also the false biography imperial decree, this was too false: „Does that want Six Gates what to use?” 夏侯荻第一反应也是假传圣旨,这太假了:“那要六扇门何用？” Yu Xian said easely: „This non- old servant knows. Imperial decree here, absolutely true, if two have what confusion, may enter the palace to ask in the Saint greatly.” 鱼弦悠然道:“此非老奴所知。手谕在此,千真万确,若二位有什么困惑,大可自行入宫问圣上。” Xuan Zhe sneers saying: „This moment imperial city gate has shut, is your equal to break wind?” 宣哲冷笑道:“此刻宫门已闭,你这岂不是等同放屁？” Yu Xian looks at Xiahou Di, smiles meaningfully: „Some can't this people enter the palace? Said goodbye.” 鱼弦看着夏侯荻,意味深长地笑了笑:“这不是有人能进宫么？告辞。” Looks that Yu Xian departs easely, Xiahou Di and Xuan Zhe look at each other in blank dismay, in the heart knows that tonight must have the big change. But the system place of trouble here, had the emperor imperial decree to press, before the confirmation attested to falsity, they were really cannot move in any event. 看着鱼弦悠然离去,夏侯荻和宣哲面面相觑,心中都知道今晚必有大变。但体制之内的麻烦之处就在这里,有了皇帝手谕压着,在确认证伪之前,他们是无论如何真不能动。 Xiahou Di walked slowly and aimlessly back and forth several steps, sighed: „If unnecessary, I really do not want to enter the palace. What news can Marquis Xuan have?” 夏侯荻来回踱了几步,叹了口气:“如非必要,我真不想进宫。宣侯可有什么消息？” The Xuan Zhe look is serious, said in a low voice: „Today 3 to 5 p.m, Nature Sect Leng Zhu enters Capital. You know that I and their relations, they go to the capital not to hide the truth from me. But others? Just like we makes a move to assassinate Xue Mu until Ying Yi, knew him to enter Capital, I suspected that the secret entered Capital likely also to have other powerhouses, but we cannot have the news.” 宣哲神色严肃,低声道:“今日申时,自然门冷竹入京。你知道我和他们的关系,他们进京瞒不过我。但别人呢？正如我们直到影翼出手行刺薛牧,才知他进了京,我怀疑隐秘入京者很可能还有其他强者,只是我们没能掌握消息。” The Xiahou Di eye stares the eldest child: „Did Leng Zhu come? Leng Zhu, Yu Xian, this two people may be the summits of Insightful Emptiness! In addition Mo Xuexin, Ying Yi, Yuan Zhong...... is it possible that if also has others...... this lineup to assassinate your majesty?” 夏侯荻眼睛瞪得老大:“冷竹都来了？冷竹,鱼弦,此二人可都是洞虚之巅！加上莫雪心,影翼,元钟……若还有别人……这阵容莫非要行刺陛下？” Xuan Zhe shakes the head saying: „Is impossible. We said his false biography imperial decree, but unbelievable this absurd decree. Actually your I know Yu Xian, if really has the disloyalty, perhaps your majesty...... why must a move of bystander has entered Capital?” 宣哲摇头道:“不可能。我们说他假传圣旨,不过难以置信这种荒唐旨意。其实你我均知鱼弦若是真有异心,陛下恐怕早就……何须招外人入京？” Xiahou Di thought for quite a while, wonders: „But if said that they encircle kill others , was Xue Qingqiu worth these people so on a grand scale? But who knows the Xue Qingqiu behavior? Closes up is a day, do they go to rush? Yinye array does not look to play, rushes should have the big casualties? Too unreasonable.” 夏侯荻想了半天,纳闷至极:“可是若说他们来围杀别人吧,也就只有薛清秋值得这些人如此大张旗鼓了吧？可谁知道薛清秋的行止？一个闭关就是一天,他们难道去强闯？夤夜的阵法也不是看着玩的,强闯该有多大伤亡？太不合情理了。” Two giants you looked that my I look at you, is confused. 两巨头你看我我看你,都是一头雾水。 The information is not coordinated, truly has no way to guess. 情报不对等,确实是没法猜的。 A petite younger sister serves tea, Xuan Zhe stops talking temporarily, turns the head to say with a smile: „Can Xiao Ai be also familiar with here?” 一个娇小妹子上来奉茶,宣哲暂时住了口,转头笑道:“小艾在这里可还习惯？” Xiao Ai is smiling sweetly: „Many thanks chief constable and Marquis Xuan look, here everyone is very good to me.” 小艾甜甜地笑着:“多谢总捕头和宣侯关照,这里大家都对我很好。” Xiahou Di visits her, in the heart somewhat suspected that this goods can have the issue, was resourceful in a dishonest way, this day gets down almost everyone to like, all her, when the younger sister looked, generally the poor family females do have this skill? 夏侯荻看着她,心中有几分怀疑这货会不会有问题,太长袖善舞了,这一天下来几乎人人喜欢,个个把她当妹妹看,一般贫家女子有这个本事？ But the Xuan Zhe face she is not good to fall casually, moreover felt, if Xue Mu really wants to insert the nail in Six Gates, he can make libationer justifiablily, does not need to move unnecessarily...... the heart also to believe faintly, even if Xiao Ai has the issue, at present this condition makes her give Xue Mu to disclose secret information is not the misdemeanor, then said with a smile: „You are under Publication Division, this plants the matter of person not to need you to do. Publication Division today also in busy, you go to the helper.” 但宣哲的面子她也不好随便落,另外也觉得如果薛牧真想在六扇门插钉子,他本人就可以名正言顺做祭酒的,没必要多此一举吧……内心深处还隐隐认为,就算小艾有问题,眼下这个状况让她去给薛牧通风报信也不是坏事,便笑道:“你是刊物司属下,这种下人的事情无须你做。刊物司今日还在忙,你还是去帮手吧。” „Yes.” Xiao Ai drew back slowly, goes out flies to turn around to leave same. The matter that heard a moment ago was too strange, no matter how Xiahou Di Xuan Zhe guesses, Xiao Ai thought must report chief manager to decide. “是。”小艾慢慢退了出去,一出门就飞一样转身离开。刚才听见的事情太古怪了,不管夏侯荻宣哲怎么猜,小艾觉得必须禀告大总管定夺。 Xue Mu is exercising martial arts at this moment. 薛牧此刻正在练功。 It is not the dual cultivation merit, is poison art. 不是双修功,是毒功。 This busy matter finished, Xue Qingqiu continued to stay in national capital is really not meaningful, according to the idea of Xue Mu truly can walk, no matter the cooperation of Six Gates cooperation or Ying Yi, will send people Ling State to discuss, is not the issue. After Xue Qingqiu dinner, said that has the matter, floating does not see, he does not have idea. 该忙的事忙完了,原本薛清秋继续呆在京师真没啥意义,按薛牧的想法是确实可以走了,不管是六扇门合作还是影翼的合作,自会派人到灵州来谈,不是问题。只是薛清秋晚饭后说是有事,飘然不见,他也没辙。 Was sees the concealed wiring in her palace, was normal, came to the capital for several days not to see, just before leaving one side must first certainly see. 想必是去见她宫内的暗线了,也是正常,来京几天了都没见,临走前肯定要见一面。 Xue Mu does not think that this goes out to have the matter, actually his little while leisure gets up finally, can start to exercise martial arts. 薛牧也不认为这出去就会有事,倒是他这会儿总算闲暇起来,可以开始练练功。 Although had some cultivation technique scratch coats, he will not in fact oppose the enemy the method, this is very biased. But martial skill apparently does not have to realize half a loaf of Kung-fu quickly, only the poisonous technique has the intensive possibility, Xue Mu decided that at least in these hours practice meeting one to transport the technique of poison. 虽是有了些功法打底,他实际上还是丝毫不会对敌手段,这是很偏颇的。而武技显然没这么快能练成一招半式,只有毒术有速成的可能,薛牧决定至少这几小时内练会一门运毒之术。 Turned looked for «Hundred Grasses Record», the poisonous technique that truly some can use directly, most direct one in true qi sent out the heterozygous poison qi of entanglement, was the eruption method. How to deliver energy also has very detailed explanation, has the circuit diagram, practicing is not difficult. 翻找了一下《百草录》,确实有很多直接可以用的毒术,最直接的一种就是把纠缠在真气里的杂合毒气散发出去,是个爆发手段。如何发功也有很详细的讲解,有线路图在,练起来并不难。 Moreover this is thousand types mixes the poison, the solution is not solvable, the might is very uncommon, what a pity is not very poisonously direct, can not die the opposite party skill to the certain extent, can try to compel the poison, meets the strong point can resist directly...... 而且这还是千种混毒,解无可解,威力很是不凡,可惜毒还是不够直接,对方功力到了一定程度可以不会即死,能够设法逼毒,遇到更强点的可以直接抵抗掉了…… Thinks that Soft Bone Incense of that killer, Xue Mu thought very interesting, can kill by poison a piece of person far away, this method is very good. It is a pity that his present skill also missed, the toxin absorption was incomplete, if must erupt like this, can only explode to collapse probably one time, was mutually wounded. 想到那杀手的软骨香,薛牧觉得挺有意思的,大老远能毒死一片人,这个手段很不错。遗憾的是他现在的功力还差了点,毒素吸收也不完全,如果要这样爆发,大概只能爆一次就虚脱了,算是两败俱伤。 Mutual wounds mutually wounded, having the maintaining life method is always good, first practiced said again. 两败俱伤就两败俱伤吧,有个保命手段总是好的,先练了再说。 His left hand takes to write books, the right hand spreads out to face upwards, attempts to operate the transporting merit way on book. Dark green true qi assembles to the arm meridians from the dantian slowly, almost can see the arm to send out the green light faintly, subsequently the green light wants to run out of the palm , failed „suddenly”. 他左手拿着书,右手摊开朝天,尝试运行书上的运功方式。墨绿色真气从丹田慢慢向手臂经脉集结,几乎可以看见手臂隐隐散发着绿光,继而绿光想要冲出掌心,“突”地一下,失败了。 Xue Mu is not discouraged, the intensive thing also needs to exercise to know extremely well, the control must have at one's command is good, this perfectly justified. 薛牧并不气馁,再速成的玩意也需要锻炼熟稔,控制得如臂使指才行,这天经地义。 Tested not to know repeatedly many times, in the palm appears slowly the light green cloud. 反反复复测试了不知道多少次,掌心里慢慢浮现出淡淡的绿云。 The green cloud diverges quickly. Xue Mu shakes the head , to continue to attempt. 绿云很快散去。薛牧摇了摇头,继续尝试。 Does not know that tried many times, the green cloud condenses finally, is getting more and more thick. 又不知道试了多少次,绿云终于凝聚,越来越浓。 In this time, Menglan is bringing Xiao Ai to rush hurriedly: „Young Master, Xiao Ai said that has the important matter to report.” 正在此时,梦岚带着小艾急匆匆地闯了进来:“公子,小艾说有要事禀告。”
